AYAW NI LENI, GUSTO NI RISA

MALINAW ang ale mula sa Naga City. Ayaw tumakbo sa pagkapangulo ni Leni Robredo, ang kasalukuyang alkalde ng Naga City, sa halalang pampanguluhan sa 2028. Sapat na pagsilbihan niya ang Naga City. Huwag ng dagdagan ang pananagutan. Igalang ang kanyang pasya.

Hanggang maaari, huwag na natin kulitin ang ale. Tumigil ka na Ted Perena sa iyong walang katuturang pamimilit na patakbuhin ang iyong diyosa. Ayaw niya. Malinaw na malinaw.

Itigil na rin ang mga walang silbing survey kung saan pilit na itinatapat si Leni kay Sara Duterte na hindi makakatakbo sa 2028 dahil malamang na sibakin siya ng Senado bilang hukumang impeachment. Hindi makakalusot ang ayaw humarap at magpaliwanag sa Senado. Nakakatawa ang senaryo kapag ipinagtapat ang hindi tatakbo sa katauhan ni Leni at ang hindi makakatakbo sa katauhan ni Sara.

Hindi kawalan si Leni dahil nandiyan si Risa Hontiveros na mas buo ang loob na pumalaot sa 2028. Kuwalipikado si Risa dahil sa lawak ng karanasan niya sa Senado. Hindi matatawaran ang galing at kasanayan ni Risa. Hindi kailangan suyuin at ligawan si Risa upang pumalaot sa 2028.

Nandiyan si Gibo Teodoro. Tulad ni Risa, malinaw si Gibo sa kanyang paninindigan kontra Tsina. Magandang tandem ang Gibo-Risa o Risa-Gibo. Hindi namin alam kung paano tatapatan ng grupong Dabaw ang tandem na iyan.

Walang kahihinatnan ang bansa kung alinman kay Baste o Robin ang isasabak nila sa 2028. Magmumukha silang katawa-tawa. Masyadong mababaw ang bench ng grupong Dabaw. Mukhang sanggano si Baste dahil puno siya ng tattoo sa katawan. Para siyang bilanggo na galing sa piitan ng Muntinlupa.

Si Robin ay nuknukhan ng katangahan at kabobohan sa Senado. Wala siyang iniambag sa Senado. Balewala siya doon. Hindi siya karapat-dapat sa anumang posisyon.

Senator-Judge Tulfo calls VP Sara witness ‘nagmamaang-maangan,’ raises possibility of contempt

SENATOR-JUDGE Raffy Tulfo on Tuesday raised the possibility of citing Vice President Sara Z. Duterte’s defense witness for contempt on Tuesday after prosecution questions about her former accounting firm drew repeated answers that she could not recall certain details.

Tulfo criticized Davao City Accountant Vingelin A. Bajan during the November 10 impeachment hearing as prosecution counsel Atty. Mae Divinagracia examined her connection to Ampil, Elises, Ciudadano and Co., CPAs. Duterte appointed her city accountant in 2016.

“Kahapon, yung witness, isang witness, tatawa-tawa. Ngayon, ito very evasive, nagmamaang-maangan,” Tulfo said, contrasting Bajan’s answers with the conduct of the previous day’s witness.

His intervention followed questions about amended partnership papers. Divinagracia said a 2015 amendment removed Bajan’s name and changed the firm’s name to Elises & Ciudadano. Asked about the filing, Bajan initially said she did not remember and explained that she was no longer a partner in the firm.

Divinagracia directed her to the document’s date and list of partners. Presiding Officer Francis Escudero also pressed Bajan to answer based on the documents presented to her.
Tulfo suggested that the court cite a witness for contempt to serve as a warning and ensure respect for the proceedings. “Wala silang respeto sa impeachment court,” he said.

“Siguro kailangan na, it’s about time magkaroon tayo ng sample,” Tulfo added.
Escudero responded, “Duly noted, Senator-Judge Raffy.” However, he did not issue a contempt citation against Bajan following Tulfo’s suggestion.

Divinagracia then withdrew the question and proceeded with another line of questioning.
“I will withdraw that question, and I will replace it with a new one, Your Honor,” she said.
The prosecutor returned to the original 2003 partnership papers and asked Bajan to identify the signature beside her printed name. Bajan first identified the tax identifier as hers and then also confirmed that the signature was hers after further questions.

The SEC formation papers name Bajan among the founding partners and list her capital contribution. Divinagracia said the firm’s history was relevant to examining the witness’s interest and credibility. The defense had called Bajan to explain Davao City compensation records involving Duterte under the remaining unexplained-wealth charge.

Bajan later read September 1, 2015, as the date the amended papers were presented to the SEC. She confirmed that she had previously been a partner in the firm and clarified that her difficulty was recalling the specific date because the events had taken place a long time ago.
